IMPORTANT - Please note that you can achieve a similar effect as what you saw on the 32 bits/channel mode, even when you are on the 8 bits/channel mode, by tweaking the color value threshold sliders (the sliders at the bottom) in the Hue/Saturation adjustment function. But in this video my point was to show the difference between the different bit-depth modes, when everything else is equal. The focus was more on showcasing the differences and understanding bit-depth, rather than the editing part. But even at 8 bit, we could have got similar results using the Hue/Saturation function by increasing the color range of the selected colors. So even though I termed that as artifacts in the video, most of it was just a result of the correct color range not being selected. But it was just done to make the explanation simple. Thought I'd put this out here to clarify things.
